I want to thank everyone for my nice score. To those commenters who think this is HDR or something else illegal... I say read the rules on the Home Page. This is done with Topaz Adjust and clearly legal.

I feel really bad giving this the score I'm giving it. It's a gorgeous shot. HDR? My only problem is that it doesn't fit the challenge. Also, the processing left a bit of a halo around the dome. 5
Quite striking and marvellous tones, golds, silvers, sky. I would have scored higher if you could have gotten rid of the apartments, offices middle left rear by shooting from the ground up, leaving my eye to only explore the pillars and rear tower........I am however bumping this to an 8
Nice Sci-fi feel! Focus and tones are great! The sky really makes it extra special!
I don't know where this is, but I assume this is why it's a hidden treasure. :)
Love the photo and the HDR processing, the sky is great, the composition is spot on, and the subject is interesting. But the bad news from me is its just too much of a shoehorn for me to score it higher than a 6.
